Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

The NFL salary cap is crap! If you don't know that by now, we don't know what to tell you: if an NFL team says they're making a move for "cap reasons," it's a lie. However, of *course* the money matters! But it's all in the guarantees!!! On today's show, we're sifting through the NFL contracts and coming up with skill-position players we think could get the axe this offseason because they are due to make "too much" in real actual salary. Let's go through a bunch of names! Plus, let's talk about the NFL coaching vacancies! Guest: Ben Gretch of the Stealing Signals Newsletter.

It's our first offseason show of 2026, and we're having a look back at the '25 season to pick out some *weird* players. These are guys who started the year wonderfully and ended terribly. Or guys who did the opposite, and won us fantasy championships at the end. Or guys who performed better than expected given their age or target volume. We'll have a look at some "Fantasy Outliers" -- and discuss what we're thinking of doing with them in '26. Big fun! Guest: Jim McCormick of ESPN.

The fantasy championships have been handed out, the champagne corks have been popped, the cigars have been puffed...and now all that's left is the bragging. Well, that's not *all* that's left...we still love the NFL, and we still love fantasy football! That's why today's show will mostly be about...*LOVE*! The guys we'll discuss today aren't necessarily the 100% best fantasy options for dynasty or for 2026 redraft, but rather, they're simply players whose film we enjoy watching! We think you'll have a fun time listening...Happy New Year! Guest: Chris Raybon from The Action Network.

The NFL games from Thursday were...not good! What a stinky way to start off your fantasy championship! But we have hope things will get better, and we'll discuss the injury names you need to know for Week 17. We'll also count down a list of players we think might turn out to be *undervalued* for next season, 2026 in fantasy football. And for one last time in '25, we'll make our DraftKings DFS picks for our fun $5 contest. Thank you! Good luck this weekend! Guests: DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge & Cousin Josh.
